On your XT you may want to verify the readability of the files with the command:

COPY /B A:*.* NUL

Which will read all files in a directory (but not those in a subdirectory) and drop the data in the bit-bucket.

It will verify the format and data of every sector for readability.

Been using it for ~ 30 years and it's never failed me.
